Disc in very good condition, case in very good condition. Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 expands the series’ trademark fluid, dynamic gameplay mechanics to deliver a thoroughly entertaining and competitive game that captures all the tension, skill and intensity of world-class international cricket. Thanks to the official ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 content, Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 features licensed players, including world cricket stars Andrew Flintoff, Ricky Ponting, Mahendra Dhoni, Muttiah Muralitharan and of course, Brian Lara himself. In addition to players, the game leads with a dedicated ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 mode featuring all the official teams, stadia, kits and equipment of the tournament. Further modes include a fully licensed ICC Champions’ Trophy competition and exhibition matches including One Day Games, Test Matches and exciting 20-over run fests. Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 adds extra depth to the series’ complete batting, bowling and fielding experience whilst retaining its trademark accessible playability. The acclaimed batting play sees the introduction of subtle edges, sweepshots and the ability to use your feet to dance down wicket and smash the ball over the boundary for six. Bowling sees a much-improved set of delivery types, thanks to changes in the way the ball swings in the air and reacts off the pitch, showcasing Shane Warne’s huge variation of spinning deliveries and Steve Harmison’s raw pace and even reverse swing as the ball degrades. In Fielding, there’s a new reflex-testing slip catch system and players can now be run out at both ends and be stumped by alert wicket keepers. A striking advancement is the photo-realistic visuals; with hundreds of real player likenesses being modelled in high detail, complete with animated facial expressions to capture the intensity and emotion of international cricket. Stadia, including all eight official World Cup venues, have also been created with a new level of textured detail and they make use of proprietary shader technology for realistic, subtle and changing lighting effects, such as time of day and weather. Originally released back in 1997, Age of Empires proved to be quite a success. Enough so, that the expansion pack, Rise of the Romans, was to be placed alongside it. A year later and the two games were to be bundled in the ultimate strategy package, Age of Empires Gold Edition. In the gold edition, use can now utilise the features of both the original and the expansion pack on one CD, and at no extra cost.Once again, you get to play god in an attempt to rule the world through construction, expansion and population. You and your empire are not the only human beings on the planet, however. If you want to continue to grow, you must conquer other empires with the same intentions as you. Once defeated, you can populate the land as you see fit. Since it's the Stone Age, resources and tools don't come knocking on your door. You have to work to expand. Raw materials are just as valuable as the cash you have in your pocket and must be used wisely.With four new civilisations to choose from and time periods ranging from the Stone Age to the Iron Age, you will be staring at your screens for quite some time to come.
